The Antarctica Theory

throughout our world few places are more remote and mysterious than the continent of Antarctica spanning over five million square miles this mass of land and ice is over twice the size of Australia yet it holds a grand total of zero permanent residents it's brutally frigid conditions and strict visitation laws have made it impossible to fully explore leading many to question what secrets it may be hiding in its icy landscape in the mid to late 1950s the United States was heavily invested in nuclear technology and specifically nuclear weapons in the midst of the Cold War it was imperative for the country to gain superior knowledge on a subject than the Russians because of this the United States was constantly building and experimenting on all things nuclear over the course of the Cold War over 1,000 nuclear devices were fired as part of US government experiments with few being as controversial as the experiments conducted in operation Argos the main goal of Argos was to test the effects that nuclear weapons had in colder high-altitude regions with these experiments an estimated three nuclear missiles were fired in the vicinity of Antarctica however the results of this experiment were never finalized and the whereabouts of the location in which the missiles hit is still very much a mystery following this test the task force in charge of the program was quickly dissolved and the majority of the documents associated with the project were destroyed included in these documents was also the film Rio that would have shown actual footage of the tests so this alone is pretty sketchy the destruction of evidence the hiding of evidence as to what happened there is something that definitely raises some red flags but it's also something that's not too surprising for that time period but where this whole situation gets very strange is when you take a look at a previous mission that took place in Antarctica that has confused the public to this day in 1946 the United States Navy sent troops to Antarctica to supposedly set up a military base and to train them for cold weather conditions as part of operation Highjump now this wasn't a small convoy or anything like that all in all 4700 troops were sent up to the frigid landscape in December of that year the operation lasted just barely a few months as the weather conditions supposedly got too severe which I mean I'm not sure what they were expecting there for being honest I mean it it's Antarctica in total it was reported that four men lost their lives in the short expedition however some believe that the number is actually much higher than that and that in their time up there the United States Navy was attacked it is theorized that upon the trip through the harsh landscape of Antarctica the brigade was attacked by unknown crafts which forced them to retreat out of the area the attack was highlighted in a now leaked Soviet report where KGB agents had gained knowledge from u.s. soldiers present at the site of the attack the US soldiers claimed that while they were being attacked by these hostile forces they reported the open fire on the crafts ultimately shooting one down into the water below however the advanced technology of these crafts proved way too much for the fleet to handle and they were forced to retreat after losing several aircrafts and men in the attack after the fleet returned back to the United States one of the leaders of the expedition Admiral Byrd began discussing with the media that the United States should set up defense bases in the polar regions and that flying crafts from the area posed a serious threat to the United States after these shocking and controversial statements Byrd was thrown into a mental institution and never heard from again piecing together the alleged attack on operation Highjump with the subsequent bombing of their region with operation Argos the whole situation leaves a dark theory some believe that operation Highjump was actually an invasion of Antarctica in order to fight off some mysterious force I mean why else would they send that many soldiers there like do you really need five thousand men to set up a research base and maybe when this operation failed and when the United States Navy realized that they were no match for this advanced weaponry perhaps they fired those nuclear weapons to take care of the enemy once and for all now I feel like this theory is definitely out there but the fact that it was in an actual Soviet report and the fact that Byrd was speaking out about this enemy and was quickly silenced makes it still intriguing to me plus I can't get over why they would send that many people up there to set up a base and I can't get over why they would fire those nuclear weapons in Antarctica for research when they did even end up posting any actual research from their findings and what about the tapes okay you know what let me let meet you let me chill real quick so obviously I have a lot of questions about this theory that I wish I could have answered and perhaps the biggest one to me is what actually was this unknown force that may or may not have attacked the Navy that day and the theories into this are just flat-out crazy [Music] many of the most popular conspiracy theories surrounding the region of Antarctica deal with alien life it's vast and unexplored landscape makes it one of the only places on earth that could really hold alien life that would go completely undetected like aliens could just be chilling up there right now and guess what we'd have no idea I mean I'm not saying they are but we really can't say that they aren't right now throughout the years many have pointed to things like these pyramid structures throughout the region and clean that they are bases of aliens they think that aliens actually created these things and further structures have also been spotted on things like Google Earth that seem to look like man-made or alien-made buildings or layers and due to our inability to explore these regions and confirm or deny whether these are structures or not it causes our imagination to kind of run wild with what could have made them and what could be living in there now me personally I tend to view these structures as just kind of weird shaped rocks but I will give some credit that quite a few of them do look pretty convincing now just recently a photo from Google Earth went viral of what appears to be a spaceship crashed in the snow on an island just outside of Antarctica with this photo you see a definite trail behind a large tube-like object making it appear that whatever this thing was it had just crashed landed now this photo has quickly become synonymous with alien life in the region though some experts are quick to dismiss it as a rock that simply slid down a mountain via Avalanche it's a really interesting photo that has many who believe that aliens are truly out there excited and there's no shortage of other photos like this that supposedly show crashed UFOs in a snowy Arctic many believe that these crafts are the work of alien life-forms thriving in this desolate region these people also tend to believe that these aliens were also responsible for the attack on the US Navy it's a frightening concept thinking that hostile alien life-forms may be living in Antarctica and the idea that they have attacked before may also mean that they may attack again and with no defense bases anywhere in the region nothing would be stopping them from attacking let's say a research team of ours in the area but to me the idea of aliens being responsible for these mysterious crafts is not even close to being the most interesting theory this [ __ ] goes crazy let me just start by introducing a theory and then I'm gonna backtrack and explain how it could be possible so stick with me here so the theory here is that members of the Nazi Party were able to escape to Antarctica after World War two it said that the Nazis also took with them advanced weaponry from the war weaponry like flying saucers that were responsible for the attack on operation Highjump ok so confusing and weird I know but let's unpack this for a minute even before the start of World War 2 Hitler had a fascination with Antarctica there he sent multiple fleets to survey the landscape and supposedly look for margarine fat due to the fact that the country supply would soon be cut off during the war on these missions it is theorized that Hitler saw an opportunity as the vast continent provided the perfect conditions for a hideout should things go wrong now fast-forwarding a bit here too the actual war it is no secret that Nazis were innovators and they were obsessed with creating new and crazy technology these technologies included things like wonder weapons and all sorts of other shocking and disturbing things and it is believed that at one point the Nazi set their sights on creating an advanced aircraft that would be ultra powerful and especially difficult to bring down these crafts would have been something completely new to our world if they were actually able to create them and in this theory believers claim that they actually did they believed that the Nazis were able to build these flying saucers in secret and use their overpowered weaponry to defeat their enemies and looking at all the other crazy stuff that they were able to invent I mean it's still improbable but it's definitely not impossible that they were actually able to accomplish something like this okay so if they had this advanced weaponry how did they end up in Antarctica well perhaps after World War two had ended the remaining Nazis fled their homeland to avoid persecution and landed in Antarctica where they likely would have never been found and the idea of Nazi soldiers and officials escaping Germany after World War two is something that is definitely not outlandish so many of them have been reported dead and yet very few bodies were actually ever discovered from the high-ranking Nazi officials which that's a whole conspiracy theory of its own whether these people are still alive or not but if they are maybe they fled to Antarctica and maybe they took their advanced aircrafts with them to a escape undetected and to be keep their technology a secret to possibly use at a later date I mean this kind of makes sense because as I mentioned before the Nazis had more information on Antarctica than probably any other country at the time because remember they had sent crews there on multiple occasions also in 2016 Russians actually discovered a legitimate abandoned Nazi base in Antarctica so they had at least one legitimate settlement there and it might not be too far-fetched to believe that maybe they had more that just haven't been discovered yet so perhaps when the US Navy was visiting the area way back in 1946 they stumbled a little too close to the Nazis secret base and the Nazis used their advanced aircrafts to fire at the crews and deter them from coming any closer and truly discovering their hideout and stretching it even further maybe the u.s. retaliated by shooting those missile tests in the area in order to secretly and quietly kill off the remain Nazi troops it is so crazy to think about it is so weird it is so probably not true but it's so totally could be maybe someday we'll find out if there was any truth to these wild theories but until then many of us will remain fascinated by the mysteries of Antarctica
